“…These studies, however, like those in db/db mice [33,34], were not directly aimed at assessing the necessity of leptin receptors on the sustained weight loss and food intake suppression as well as improved glycemic control induced by RYGB, which is most likely why their details of food intake were either generally incomplete [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]54,61,62,64] or entirely missing [24,33,34,52,53,[55][56][57][58][59][60]63], and their study conclusions were unrelated to leptin. Our findings contrast with the studies showing a lack of sustained weight loss after RYGB [24,48,51,54,57,58,61,63], but are in line with the majority that do [45][46][47]49,50,52,55,59,62,64]. Further, our findings contrast with the study showing a lack of sustained food intake suppression induced by RYGB…”
